The gorgeous lakes in the Bluegrass State are wonderful places to bring the whole family for a fun summer day trip in Kentucky. One of the best is a place where you can enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, birding, biking, camping, picnicking, horseback riding, and so much more. Welcome to Green River Lake, an idyllic small-town lake in Kentucky, just outside of charming Campbellsville.
Just one look at this gorgeous lake and you know you’re in for a great time. You’ll be surrounded by natural beauty no matter what activities you choose to do here.
One of the most obvious things to do at an amazing lake like this is to go boating. Whether you fish from the boat or just want to cruise around and take in the scenery, it’s the perfect place.
There’s a massive marina here with boats of all sizes to choose from or to park your own if you brought one.
This is a local favorite spot for horseback riding with several lush trails full of wildlife and stunning natural scenery.
There are several sheltered areas with picnic tables, benches, and grills so that you can have a picnic or barbecue surrounded by lovely woods.
There is so much room for play! A sandy beach right on the water, open fields for frisbee, tag, and many other sports, and a great playground for the little ones to climb and slide to their hearts' content.
Believe it or not, there’s even miniature golf here! There’s certainly no shortage of activities to fill up your day at Green River Lake.
Should you choose to extend your trip to more than one day, there are a ton of camping spots available for tent and RV camping so you can roast s’mores and stay some more!
